A further gymnast is isolating after coming into close contact.

And so with this and last few news the real shitstorm starts. It won't be a legit Olympic Games if COVID takes out favorites.

And most current cases are ones that have been caught outside of Tokyo. The gymnast is over 70km away in another city while the others have likely caught it before departing or on the journey. 
 

Jaoan should have pushed it back to 2022 and then got the IOC to move all future games by two years,

Sadly as the figures in the UK and Israel are showing it doesn’t seem that low - there is simply not enough unvaccinated people to be the only ones spreading it with our current cases numbers. 

Numbers here are misleading, more people are “infected “ but no one is in a bad state or died out of it, therefore the new variant is either not effecting those who vaccinated or not effective at all

Sadly that doesn’t seem to be the case in the UK. There are reports of fully vaccinated people getting ill enough to need mild hospital treatment,

There are also reports that the virus can be transmitted via internet, if you are in UK (where all fully vaccinated people are dying like flies) you should turn your wifi/data/whatever off during the Olympics. A small sacrifice to save us all.

    • Those hurt, especially not one but two countries that have never missed a single contest likely missing out now     Where did everyone go?   Edit: I see Slovenia is in, that's fantastic news! Brazil though...   I think I'm going to ask if @brunamoura wants to come up with a song, despite really not having lots of time for it due to training and work. With some luck, she can listen the playlist on Spotify during training or something and get a bit of a sense of which songs she likes. If that's acceptable for people of course, I can perfectly imagine people wouldn't be too happy with that since we literally share a household and it might be seen as a conflict of interest (although anyway I always only tell her my favourite songs after I sent my votes).
    • Announcement:   I'm going to extend the deadline for countries submission to Monday 30th September at 23:58 BST, with the voting now not opening to the public until Wednesday 2nd October at 23:58 BST. I felt this was necessary to do due to the lack of nations + the lack of some of the major players and not due to me failing to come up with an entry (@Vektor) that I will be posting after this announcement. This will be the last deadline that is moved, with the only dates potentially moving being the final dates. 
    • looking at the  Junior WCH (U-20) results so far, seems like USA is gearing up. the target would be to challenge China in LA 2028 and snatch few gold medals here and there.   p.s: China is not participating in Junior WCH     I am wondering if we can see USA in good shape in Bahrain WCH too 
    • Is Trump becomes President is he really going to let in the likes of Iran if they qualify. Fifa could protest if he won’t but sort of cancelling it they don’t have much leeway. 
    • SLOVENIA  Magnifico - Hir aj kam hir aj go     Robert Pešut, better known as Magnifico is one of most established Slovenian singers. He started his solo career more than 30 years ago.   Few weeks ago, he celebrated this jubilee with special concert in front of more than 20.000 people on special site in Ljubljana. Maybe does not seem a lot, but here there were not many concerts played with that crowd.   He is known for his special type of humour in his music and lyrics. Around 20 years ago he sold album Export Import, from which most known song is "Hir aj kam hir aj go", which was received well in other countries, especially in Italy.   Just another fact, Magnifico wrote two Eurovision songs, Sestre - Samo Ljubezen (Only Love) in 2002 and also for Montenegrin performer Rambo Amadeus (Euro Neuro).   He tried himself to perform at Eurovision, but with his still very well known "Silvija", ended 5th in EMA 1998 (Slovenia National Final).   SONG LYRICS  
    • Oh how I’ve missed Canucks hockey, Silovs with another beauty of a save      
    • Round of 16 - September 24th    1 - 3     5 - 0 
    • Think I'm gonna extend the deadline to another day, we've got plenty of time to spare and I shouldn't take too long to vote. 
    • Today it was Olof’s 4th birthday. Love you my sweet boy.
